Tearing Down The Last Shed

www.letsdig18.... for shirts and more

[@basherw1]

That shed made some extremely satisfying crunch and thud sounds.

[@terryrogers1025]

Wish you the best on your new building sir. Looking forward to seeing it go up.

[@shanereynolds5971]

It is always funny to see all the "what a waste" and "someone would have taken that" people that comment. Last video, someone was claiming that the cement pad should have been saved. This, many are complaining that this is "good wood" and should have been pry-barred apart. What they don't realize is the man's busy schedule and how he can't waste a whole day on a few 2x's and plywood. Which, btw, was subjected to water intrusion due to a hole in the roof, compromised windows and frames and from the roof of the building adjacent to it. Chris already had salvaged 2 other sheds in this area, and he remarked at how this one was too far gone to save.

[@michaeld_68]

Everyone is an expert and knows it all 😂😂 Don't see there videos 🙄🤔

[@adriancarter825]

Ha ha Jeeze what’s it like up there and you know where I mean , the roof timber’s still look good to me , but hey who gives a flying f***k Chris bought it he can do what he wants with it , but people are entitled to there comments as it is a comments section , all the comments don’t need to always be suck ass do they .

[@shitloveaduck]

You have definitely explained it well. If it was on my property,,,,, IF,,,,,, I would have saved the shed as there was a lot to save, BUT, I am retired and have next to nothing to do except go fishing!! Haha. Chris’ time is worth wayyyy too much to go salvaging this one board at a time and unfortunately it was too far gone to move well. You hit the nail on the head! Some people though, find it hard to see the greater picture because they have never been exposed to a work life similar to Chris’. I get that too. So long as they say it was something that could have been saved and not tell Chris what to do!!!! Hahaha. Stay safe, Eh!

[@letsdig18]

Like I want to spend a week pulling nails out of lumber only to not use it in my new building because it looks horrible lol Trash it goes!

Yup... almost surgical precision

Chris, my son operates heavy equipment. He started on a backhoe at about 10 and has been ever since. He's 30 now and still would rather be on a piece of equipment. His love, job. Your videos are great reminders.

Job well done! Your talent with these machines is amazing. You are a hard worker and your home is looking so very good! I appreciate your sharing these videos with us.

Your last building really looks good in the sunlight that blue is nice ! And you won't need see your neighbor as much from way you talked in the past you don't get along with them very much !

Looked like a couple bats taking fleight. Good to see there are still some alive.

There was a part of me that really wanted to see the mulching head come out and rip through that building.

[@fenceman53]

Just a thought. If you leave 12 foot from new building to newer building you could add roof and back wall later to block neighbor and have covered spot for something

[@ritchiesobrian4477]

Any updates on the big machines? Btw love all of your videos chris💯🙏🏽

[@SEFI_Swiss]

Hello Chris Be careful with your new Yanmar, if you drive on the slats you can drive in a nail and capture a flat track

[@wyattearp1418]

Looks really nice now Chris. Hope we get to see the end product too. It’s fun doing work at your house.

[@larrywalker7759]

And the little metal shed in the background is trembling with fear.

[@ClintsHobbiesDIY]

LOL. I thought the same. 30 seconds job.

[@bobjoncas2814]

...you are having way too much fun...lol...stay safe...

[@rickduquette3399]

Was I the only one that saw those bats flying around as Chris was dumping some of the "shed" into the trailer? Then there was one that flew out of a pile of stuff on the ground. Guess your gonna have to stick up a few bat houses around your farm before those bats go after your cows. Damm vampires!!

[@kirk467]

That looks great Chris, I just saw Winston in the backyard with another dog playing! lol he’s a beautiful boy! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@markmorgan5892]

Everyone makes that first mistake of just bashing the roof in, when u bash the roof in like that it makes the building completely unstable and causes stuff to fall outward making a bigger mess. Start from the front or back and work ur way through it, plus u can just load straight into the trailer and not have to worry about the building collapsing everywhere. And I think u need a longer cylinder or put a dog bone on ur thumb attachment, u would have sooooo much more motion and range with the thumb.

[@yenerm114]

Crazy Bat flies across at 26:37 😛

[@prinzeugenvansovoyen732]

abaut the new building you really should get a washpit with grease&oil trap big enough to presure wash and clean your maschines - including the 220 and the dozer also because of the kind of equipment you might run on that foundation id put some 3/8 inch steel plates onto the concrete as abrasion resistance for steel tracked vehicles

[@MrSickmickey]

Looky there, Strawberry Shortcake knows how to play rough.

[@JR-lb4ng]

[@SpicySteve-tz2so]

[@joeyannas7828]

The new mini seems to be doing a great job , with a little help from the operator of course !! Thanks for sharing , been looking at the mini , haven’t found the LD18 sticker yet !!

[@shitloveaduck]

For a rotten old shed, that sure put up a fight!! It was built right except for the protection from water intrusion. One very important factor in building. It’s definitely a mistake I have made in the past. If it was on my land and up to me , I would have saved it, but I’m retired and have all the time in the world. Chris did the right thing for his circumstances and timelines. Great video Chris! There was one piece of 2x4 went flying by your windshield early on from the door frame. Good thing you didn’t have the camera in the cab at that time because I’m sure what you said would have demonetized the video!!! Hahaha. Looking forward to the new building going in for you! Nice stuff! Stay safe, Eh!

[@craigwavra3495]

Nice little project. Imagine what that neighbor is thinking right about now!!

[@cajun-n-va.8091]

I couldn’t help but laugh. Every time Chris does a job, he’s always quick to point out a snake or turtle. So every time I watch a video now it makes me look around. That mouse jumping around in the bottom center of the screen at 8:02 crashing the video was priceless.

[@BobOBob]

I think you should design a new bucket -- specifically for demolition. At first I was thinking bucket and thumb, but I realize it is many times easier to swap a bucket. It wouldn't even need to do most "bucket" functions. You already have a custom thumb on this scale, and I'll bet your accessory guys would make a custom bucket to test and show off, if you created a design. That is if you think this can be improved upon, and I'll bet it could.

[@lukeread6857]

Do you send your hoodies to the UK

[@CCscott]

Forget about all those salvageable 2x4s…..go for the little strands of wire. 🤔 Guess that project on the wood lathe won’t get done. 😁
